...Prices. Direct taxes make up only 28% of French tax revenue (the U.S. proportion: 64%). The rest comes from indirect sources, such as 50? a gallon on gasoline. These taxes help to price French goods out of foreign markets and beyond the reach of many French workers. To some extent, the workers are compensated by the cradle-to-grave social security system, which pays hospital bills, unemployment benefits and family allowances. A man with four children often collects as much from social security as he does in wages. But social security is added on to the price of goods...
...have broken the law, or whose totalitarian beliefs so twist their teaching and research to render them unfit for their profession. But they have an equal responsibility to make sure the implication of unfitness that springs from use of the Fifth Amendment, membership in subversive groups, or any other indirect evidence is backed up by fact before any teacher is disciplined.

...second serious handicap to research has been high overhead. Almost one third of all money spent on projects pays for indirect costs and eats into precious funds necessary for experiments. Regrettably, the majority of grants stipulate only a ten to twenty-five percent cut for meeting such costs. The difference must be made up by the school. Experts feel this overhead difficulty will only be cured when the faculty accepts grants which pay for "total cost"--both indirect and direct...
